Are you tired of the same old dinners? Tired of playing the same music, serving the same food, and drinking the same wine? Here are seven ideas to liven up the next grown-up gathering in your home. Leave the kids with the babysitter, because some of these ideas are more than a little naughty!

Drinking games. No, we’re not talking about the old college classics of flip-cup and beer-pong. We’re adults now, and we’re a bit more sophisticated than that. Try Wine Knot, a drinking game based on nautical games played by Portuguese sailors to occupy their time at sea. Or how about Vodka Party Game, a strategic board game with a Cold War espionage theme? There are many board games based on different drinks, from tequila to beer, from wine to vodka, each with a different theme. So pick your favorite drink, gather a few friends around the dining table, and enjoy.

Spicy games. If you feel like it, there are plenty of ways to have a little “grown-up” fun while the kids are out, and with this kind of fun, it’s best if you invite your friends. Try Tarts and Vicars, a sexy board game with a drinking theme. If you and your friends are very open-minded, there’s always Postman’s Promise, a board game based on the kissing game Postman’s Knock. You are sure to have an exciting evening with this one!

Suits. Just for something different, throw a costume party. Costumes can be creatively incorporated into themes. For example, if you regularly get your friends together to watch a favorite TV show, throw a party and ask each of your guests to dress up as a character. Throw a birthday party for your boyfriend and ask each of his friends to come dressed as one of his exes. If you’re throwing a party with a slightly naughty theme, ask for a “sexy” dress. There are many ways to dress up and have fun at your next party.

Entertainment. If you’re sick of the same old playlist on your Ipod, hire a DJ to liven things up. If you have a space to dance, all the better: dancing is sure to add fun and excitement to any evening. A live band can be a great way to bring new music to your evening. For the adventurous, there’s always live “grown-up” entertainment for men and women too!

Card games. You’d be surprised how much fun you can have with a deck of cards. You can play traditional drinking games, place bets and let the winner buy the next round, or even play a little strip poker if you feel like it. Cards are a fun and inexpensive way to turn your next party into an interesting, and maybe even unforgettable, night.

challenges. Can your guests identify different liquors by smell alone when they are blindfolded? Can they complete a video scavenger hunt overnight? Fun challenges can definitely make any party more exciting, especially if there’s a prize for the person who wins.

Group storytelling. Have all your guests sit in a circle. Using a sheet of lined paper, write two lines of a story on the paper, then fold the paper so only the second line is showing. The next guest will add two lines to the story, then fold the paper so only the second line of her addition is showing. When everyone has finished, read the story out loud. When passed to a large group of people, this game can be fun, especially if alcohol is involved.

Truth or Dare. The original board game, and it’s still going strong. People love truth or dare because it is unpredictable. You might end up telling an obvious truth, or you might have to run down the street naked! This game is particularly fun when truth or dare options are written on cards and guests draw options.

The next time you throw a party, you don’t need to have a boring and predictable night. Bring one of these ideas and let the fun begin. Use your imagination and don’t be afraid to get a little naughty, and your guests are sure to be talking about the night for years to come!
